Registration has closed for the competition, but the work is just beginning for the sixty participants. With a little over three months to complete their cases, these technicians have taken on the challenge to create a fully removable upper and lower supported by locators. Once complete, a panel of professionals will evaluate each case, paying close attention to the anterior setup, gingival characterization, and lingualized occlusion setup. Weâre all looking forward to seeing the finished cases displayed in Chicago at Lab Day 2014.

Stable, functional, simple and universal describes the Candulor Articulator CA II, The Prosthetic Articulator. This semi-adjustable articulator can be used for any prosthetic restoration. It features a transfer system which makes it readily compatible with joint and skull-related face-bows. Articulators play a decisive role in the success of our restorations because occlusion and articulation always have to be considered, even for the smallest dental prosthesis.

All participants of the Art of Denture competition will be invited to attend the awards ceremony which will take place at Lab Day on Friday February 21, 2014 and 4:00 pm at the Candulor booth. The winners will be announced during this ceremony and prizes will be distributed. — tagged LAB DAY Chicago
